Jim 2 Posted March 17, 2005 Water pump.. PM Supercharged as there is something about VW doing them at a good price on an exchange basis but I dont remeber the specifics, but he'll know :) Not sure on the starter motor, but I dont see any reason why the GSF part for something like the starter wouldnt be good enough :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 18, 2005 I would go factory on the water pump as they are hard to get out and it is worth paying the extra to know it is going to last. I would go where ever for the starter, the last one I got for my A2 was a Bosch re-man and it wasn't very well built. My replacement alternator for the same car was a Bosch rebuild and the rear case was installed 90 degrees out of wack. Dennis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted March 18, 2005 Yeah, get the whole water pump assembly new from VAG and the starter motor will also be cheaper if you get a decent discount... The thing about VAG exchange parts is the ones they give you are always brand new... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Get the starter motor from GSF (MUCH cheaper than VAG, for the same part, even comes in a VW/bosch box!) Waterpump from VW if they're only £28! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Got my starter motor from GSF, too, after I tried one from my local scrappie, which lasted a whopping 3 months :lol: I then decided to get a remanufactured one from GSF, as I didn't want to keep practising exchanging the starter mottor :lol: I think GSF charged £75 on an exchange basis.
